<h1>
User Guide</h1>

<p>The utPLSQL unit testing framework consists of several different elements:
<ul>
<li>
A set of tables to hold information about unit tests and test suites.</li>
<li>A set of packages that allow you to run tests,
build test packages and access information about tests you have run.</li>
</ul>
This document tells you how to use those utPLSQL packages:
<h2>

<h2>
<a href="utconfig.html">utConfig - Set how tests are run</a></h2>

<h2>

of unit tests</a></h2>

<h2>

properly</a></h2>

<h2>
